Oh, I thought people were just not paying attention to where they are typing their replies.

The specs of the laptop i use it are:
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
APPLE HDD ST750LM022 750 gb ( i will be upgrading to an SSD soon)
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
on macOS Sierra

16GB of ram and It's lagging when running a VM?

If you're running simultaneous VMs, I can understand, but solely one VM with your current specs should function without any Issues whatsoever. That's provided there's no other resource-hungry applications active. How much memory have you allocated to the VM?

I just recently upgraded it to `16gb, before i had 8gb and i allocated 6gb to the VMs and I did run two VMs at the same time.

Dude... 6 + 6 + 1 (for host OS) > 8

Why would you even try that? You are allocating more RAM then you have.

That's why I asked the amount of ram you've allocated to your VMs- what you've done Is an overkill.

Just utilizing the VM without any resource hungry applications, you'd get away with 1GB-2GB easily. 16GB on the Host system will run multiple VMs simultaneously without any Issues whatsoever. A supported CPU may be required on some VMs for SLAT (Second Level Address Translation) support, meaning to allow hardware assisted virtualization.

What Virtual Machine are you actually running?

Just download VMWare and try some OS

Lubuntu for when you need to milk full performance and still have a functioning DE
